Its beat stimulates the senses and fuels our emotions VIAGGIO is the story of a passionate and eccentric artist who hears the call of his Faceless Muse, a woman he has attempted to paint many times but always in vain. Mysterious and seductive, she beckons the Painter to boldly cross the threshold between reality and illusion into the vivid landscape of his unbridled imagination where he will finally complete his masterpiece Book in advance to benefit from a discount and enjoy either a specialty cocktail while enjoying the show for €15 or a three-course menu of palate-pleasing dishes served just before the show for €35.
